Richmond Va. Dec. 1849
To T. L. Edwards Esq. Commissioner of Pensions &c. Department of the Interior Washington City
Dr. Sir
I enclose your account as the United States in favor of Thomas H. Drew who was a captain & clothier in the Revolution. The amounts I have left blank. Not being engaged in the prosecution of such claims, I do not know what the amount of half pay is, nor what allowances of pay may be due. I suppose the records of your office will supply the deficiency.
I also enclose the certificate of the Clerk in the Auditor's office here showing that in 1788 Th. H. Drew received pay as a Captain & Clothier.
I send no evidence to show the time of Capt. Drew's death, but that evidence is already on file in your office. At some day between the 31 July and the 29 Nov. 1832, there was paid to Thomas H. Drew Admrs Th. H. Drew, at Washington $2776.77 for half pay for life as Captain, and the record of the judgment upon which that was paid fixes, and will show the time of his death.
I send also a power of Attorney from Th. H.

Drew the adme to me, duly authenticated.
The proof of his being adme will also be found in the record before referred to.
Should there be any informality, or deficiency in any of the papers sent or referred to, please inform me and I will endeavor to supply all defects, whether of form or substance.
Very Respectfully,
Yours &c.
C. G. Griswold Attorney in fact for Thos H. Drew Ad. H.

Richmond Novem. 24 th 1855. Dear Sir
I am requested by one of the parties interested to inquire whether or not any claim has been recently established and allowed to the heirs or representation of Thos. H. Druet, and a Captain in the Revolutionary Army, for which a warrant has been issued from your Department.
Some of the heirs, it is believed, have appointed an Attorney to prosecute their claims, and it is feared that said Attorney has succeeded, without authority from the other heirs, in getting possession of the whole amt. claimed.
If any such claim has been presented, I suppose that it was to obtain bounty land or the full pay of said Druet as Captain and Clothed for 5 years in Col. Geo. Muter's Garrison Regt. (Va. state line) in the Revolutionary War.
An early reply will much me oblige
Yours Very Respectfully
Jas. H. Lee

J. H. Edwards Esq Comm r of Pensions Sir
I would be pleased to learn your decision at your earliest convenience on the claim of Thomas H. Drew (now of Thos H Drew dec d ) submitted to you from notes given by Mr. C. G. Grosvenor of Portsmouth.
About ten days since, I had the honor to write to you a letter I had received from a Mr. Gilchrist of Sonoma Co Cal a respecting the widow of a Catherine to the name of Mrs. Mary Fielding (I think) and requested an answer to the application. Since, not having received any response I have feared my letter may not have reached you - If it has, I must again request your early attention to it
Respectfully Yrs James A. Lewis
